We spend time with you to understand the problems you face before searching our toolbox to find – or create – the best process automation solutions to solve your unique challenges.

We aim to deliver enduring and scalable solutions and nurture long-term partnerships.

Business process management

Manage, automate, and continuously improve enterprise-wide processes.

At ePC, we work with you to understand workflows, identify bottlenecks, and redesign processes to streamline interconnected business operations, improve visibility and strengthen governance.

Once mapped and optimised, workflow automation software digitises individual tasks, ensuring activities are completed in accordance with corporate policy and compliance requirements.

Workflow automation

Our AI-powered BPM tools include workflow automation software to automate day-to-day tasks in a graphical, low-code environment.

Many clients start by automating departmental processes, such as CapEx approval and new hires, allowing them to build incrementally before a full BPM rollout to the wider organisation for long-term digital transformation.

Electronic forms

Replace paper forms and spreadsheets with rich, dynamic and secure electronic forms.

Create forms to collect data with conditional rules (skip logic, show/hide questions, mandatory fields), data validation, and more.

Our eForms software can be deployed either as a standalone component or as part of a complete BPM solution with workflow automation, dashboards, reporting, audit trails, document management, system integration, role-based access controls, and much more.

Automated data capture

Manually entering information from paper forms and documents is slow, expensive and prone to error.

Our automated data capture solutions can capture, read and extract data from paper forms using OMR, ICR, OCR, and barcode recognition technology.

By automating data capture, organisations can reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy and minimise human intervention to a few keystrokes.

exam-scanning
Document scanning services

Need to process paper documents but don’t have the volume or resources to justify an in-house system?

Our UK-based document scanning bureau provides the technology, expertise and resources to scan, process and extract information from paper documents efficiently — ideal for organisations with small or irregular data capture requirements.

    Aung Kyaw Moe, Vice President, Global IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity, Millennium Hotels and Resorts
    TeleForm has 100% been a worthwhile investment. I wish I’d looked into it ten years ago! It was a big expense for a small charity, but it will save us money within 18 months. It’s something that’s been a great benefit to us and I would highly recommend it to any organisation.
    Ollie McPhail, Programme Manager, Racing to School
    The implementation has been a smooth process. ePC have been really helpful throughout the project. They were able to offer advice when designing / planning the eCRF and help us iron out challenges before they became major issues. Their advice has really helped us focus on what data we needed to collect in order to meet trial objectives and regulatory requirements. I highly recommend them to other CTU’s seeking to implement an eForms system
    Monica Haritakis, Clinical Trial Manager, York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

    Overall, we have been delighted to have the ongoing support, close cooperation, and ability to react to our requirements that ePC have provided. Their ability to make changes to the functionality of the system has led us to realise the value of the EDC system in this study. It is already supporting a further study of ours, and we will continue to work with ePC in our future studies

    Chief Medical Officer, Medical Technology Company

    Our experience with FSCE/ePC has been outstanding from start to finish. Their communication throughout the entire process was excellent, ensuring we felt well-supported and informed. The resources, including test answer sheets, were impressively organised and arrived in plenty of time, allowing us to handle in-school preparation well in advance. The test itself was challenging, and we appreciated the unique approach FSCE/ePC brought with its closed-response and creative writing sections, which offered a refreshing and insightful perspective on student assessment. FSCE/ePC were always available to assist with a range of questions, from potential appeals to specific needs like colored paper. Overall, FSCE/ePC provided a seamless and highly professional service, and we would confidently recommend them to other schools

    Mr R. Tipler, Deputy Head Teacher, Heckmondwike Grammar School

    I also want to thank you for your excellent service and support this year, it is always much appreciated and you are a valued supplier

    Technical Analyst, Cambridge University Press & Assessment

    As an IT support group, we offer our business colleagues choices. The decision to select Process Director/Cloud Edition was made by the Divisional CFO, as the prototype of the CapEx process worked to his satisfaction. From an IT perspective, we were also genuinely pleased with the pilot

    Chris Broe, Group Chief Information Officer, Rentokil Initial

    We love the simplicity of the system. The actual form has not changed much. You now complete it online. It still captures all the same information. Crucially, the quality of submitted requests has improved as certain fields are auto-filled, calculated automatically or contain rules such as a mandatory field or display a warning if certain conditions are not met. We’ve made the process tighter and more consistent

    Nick Taylor, Finance Director, Millennium Hotels and Resorts

    Teleform/ePC have been the lynchpin of data collection in our home diagnostic clinical trials for many years. As a small team, the software has given us cost-effective and flexible control to manage a diverse range of paper-based trials using a fully-featured form designer with support for downstream verification workflows all the way to export, while ePC have been instrumental in managing and maintaining the service availability with a high standard of professionalism and technical capability

    SPD Swiss Precision Diagnostics GmbH

    When we first spoke to ePC, the pre-sales process was low pressure and it always felt like they put our needs first. I think they actually said 500 timesheets is low volume and asked if we were sure we needed this…quite remarkable and very different to most sales teams I’ve encountered in the past

    Andy Pitchford, Managing Director, MMS

    I would highly recommend ePC to other schools seeking an automated marking solution for the 11-plus exam. Our school has saved a significant amount of time during this year’s admissions process by outsourcing both the design of the sheet and exam paper scanning with results issued to pupils in record time. We have greatly appreciated the personal contact and professional service provided; it has exceeded our expectations and my colleagues speak highly of it

    A.M. Robson, Chief Executive Officer, Reading School
